How to make it:

Fill the large bag half full of ice, and add the rock salt. Seal the bag.

Place the small bag inside the large one, and seal it again carefully.

Shake until the mixture is ice cream (which takes about 5 minutes).

Wipe off the top of the small bag, and then open it carefully. Enjoy!

You showed your belief that what I said was true by shaking the bags. James 2:14-17 says we show our faith in God by believing what He has said in the Bible and then living it out—doing what He has told us to do. Works show that we have true faith!

Write each word of the verse on a cup (write more than one word on some of the cups so there are 10-12 cups total). Arrange them side-by-side on a table (outside?) so the words can be read. Take turns trying to knock off a cup/word. See if you can say the verse each time a cup/word is knocked down—until all the words are missing.

Ask:What does it mean to be a “doer” of the Word (Bible) and not just a “hearer”?

It is good to hear/learn what the Bible says about loving others and treating them with kindness (Ephesians 4:32). But it is even better to actually do it—to love others and be kind to them.
